Talking Matters

“Growing great speakers, listeners and early readers”

The importance of rich language learning environments is back in the news again, with the NEXT foundation funding the Talking Matters campaign. This campaign aims to highlight the importance of talking with our young children.

Alison Sutton is leading this work and shared her thinking with the Connected Educator whānau in 2015. You can watch Alison’s and Ann Hatherly’s conversation here.
